Summer at Georgetown20
Te Summer Programs for High School
Students attract rising sophomores,
juniors, and seniors from across the
nation and around the world. Attending
a summer academic program at a
university is a significant event for ahigh school student, and the students
we admit to our programs are ready
to handle the challenges of college
lifeboth socially and academically.
We are confident that your son or
daughter will have a unique and
memorable experience while enrolled
in our programs.
Selecting a ProgramIf your student has determined a field of study,
consider the length of time that he or she would like
to spend at Georgetown. Our eight-day Institutes
provide a taste of college life at Georgetown while
offering an immersive academic experience. For
those students looking for a more traditional college
experience, a five-week program may be a better
fit (Fundamentals, Summer College Courses, or
Summer Honors Intensive). Outside of class, and
when students arent engaged with homework, study
groups, or working on other class assignments, they
will have the opportunity to take advantage of a full
calendar of activities, educational opportunities, and
social events.
Whether your student is on campus for eight days or
10 weeks, our faculty expects students to give their
best effort on all assignments. alk to your student
about what expectations might be set for him or her
to be prepared to take on a college mindset. Summer
at Georgetown is the perfect opportunity for your son
or daughter to get a head start on college and preview
what the transition to college life will be like when
they enroll as an undergraduate student.
Independence & SupervisionYour students safety and health are our highest
priority. Our Program Assistants and Resident
Advisorsthe majority of whom are Georgetown
undergraduate studentsare highly skilled, trained
professionals who closely supervise all students and
work with the students to encourage and maintain
a positive community throughout the summer. All
Program Assistants and Resident Advisors receive
extensive training and live in the residence halls
with students.
Independence is the primary theme of this stage
in your students development and we hope that
your son or daughter comes to Georgetown ready
to embrace these new experiences. Because many
students are away from parental supervision for the
first time, this may be a time of major stress and
demanding self-regulation. Students will need to
have the self-discipline to manage their own time,
set their priorities, and be mindful of eating balanced
meals, getting enough sleep, and doing their own
laundryall without parental involvement.
Our goal is to create a positive, safe environment,
which supports the academic success of your son
or daughter.

Te people participating during my studies were absolutely
amazing. I have remained close with so many of the friendsI made at Georgetown!
Katelyn, Bethesda, MD
I was part of the Sports Industry Management program.
Te most fun I had was visiting the stadiums and working
on the capstone project, which was a real-world experience
that showed me how a marketing team works on a project.
Kate, Okemos, MI
Not only did I experience the best exposure into the medical
field, but I also got the chance to think about what my
passion for medicine is in detail. I met lifelong friends that I
still talk to and enjoyed the ambiance of the D.C. area that
Georgetown is surrounded by. Best summer experience ever.
